Model-Specific Results
3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: JMGO N1S 4K (200W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anker Nebula Mars 3 | 150W | 150W | Safe | ~1.3h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: Running load is 150W from the OEM specifications section. This is a high-output portable projector profile and should be treated as a continuous electronic load. Field note: Use AC output for compatibility checks. This model includes an internal battery, which can extend total session time in real use. Can a portable power station run a portable projector for movie night? Yes. This device profile is 200W at 120V with low startup surge, so any compatible power station must first clear that power threshold; battery capacity then determines how long your movie session lasts. | |||||
| JMGO N1S 4K | 200W | 200W | Safe | ~1.0h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: The manual provides input current and voltage range but not a direct consumption number. 200W is a conservative worst-case estimate derived from the OEM input rating. Field note: If a detailed model spec sheet with direct power consumption becomes available, this variant should be updated from estimated to direct OEM watts. Can a portable power station run a portable projector for movie night? Yes. This device profile is 200W at 120V with low startup surge, so any compatible power station must first clear that power threshold; battery capacity then determines how long your movie session lasts. | |||||
| Samsung The Freestyle Gen 2 (SP-LFF3CLAX) | 50W | 50W | Safe | ~4.0h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: This model is USB-C power capable. The OEM guide explicitly requires a PD source with single-port output of at least 50W. Field note: When available, use a 60W+ USB-C PD port on the power station to avoid unnecessary inverter conversion losses. Can a portable power station run a portable projector for movie night? Yes. This device profile is 200W at 120V with low startup surge, so any compatible power station must first clear that power threshold; battery capacity then determines how long your movie session lasts. | |||||

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Portable projectors are electronic loads with low inrush compared to motors and compressors. The conservative parent profile is 200W continuous at 120V based on the highest sourced variant in this set.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~1h. For outdoor movie sessions, runtime is determined by battery capacity and derate, not surge handling. Most mid-range stations pass power checks; capacity decides session length.
Field Note
USB-C powered projector paths can be more efficient than AC adapter paths when the station provides sufficient USB-C PD output.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Anker SOLIX C300 power a Portable Projector?
Yes. The Anker SOLIX C300 provides 300W running / 300W surge. The Portable Projector needs 230W / 230W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 70W of running headroom and 70W of surge margin.
How long will the SOLIX C300 run a Portable Projector?
Approximately 1.0 hours, based on the Portable Projector's 200W draw and the SOLIX C300's 288Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 25W allocated to the Portable Projector, the SOLIX C300 still has ~15W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
💡
LED Lamp
10W
📡
Wifi Router
15W
Power Tip: To get the most out of your SOLIX C300, keep it in a well-ventilated area. Extreme temperatures can slightly reduce the efficiency of the LFP/NMC cells.
